Desantis has not come out to affirm the validity of the last election. He's one of those who have enabled the republican supporters to try and usurp democracy. You would really vote for the man??

He has constantly engaged in culture wars rather than stringent issues on ground and you think the republicans are better?? I'm really surprised by you.

I look at Biden and I see an administration devoid of scandals or diplomatic disaster. I see a strong america galvanizing a united Europe in the face of the greatest threat europ have ever faced in the last 7 decades.

Do you have a problem with the Biden administration?? Is there something Biden is really doing wrong??
I'm really eager to hear why you think desantis will be better than Biden. Surely you wouldn't fall for all these culture wars bullshite.
You make me shed a tear. Are you that brainwashed?
De Santis is being cancelled because he don't want 5 year olds being convinced that they are in the wrong gender. That a doctor decided his gender after birth.
Desantis banned mask mandates which the leftists media don't want.


As for Joe Biden scandals. He is devoid really? A senile person. How bout Afghanistan? Americans are still stuck there as I write this.
Opening borders to illegal immigrant human traffickers. All those illegals 3m so far have to pay drug cartels money to enable their pass through. And open borders bringing in drugs. Scandal free my ass.

Ukraine. His son was being paid 83k per month to do nuthin by Burisma. When the Ukraine prosecutor started investigation Joe Biden had him fired.
When Trump called Zelensky asking him about that matter Pelosi impeached Trump.

Joe kills a pipeline Keystone XL , then begs OPEC to increase production. He also goes to beg socialist Venezuela to sell him oil.
He even drains the Strategic oil Reserves, and sends iit to Europe.

I can go on. You are beyond being a r.et.ard.ed nincompoop. Go to another section like romamce

Gaige Grosskreutz. Is that name familiar?
He is the rioter whose hand was shot by Kyle Rittenhouse in Kenosha.After he drew a Glock on Kyle .Gaige Grosskreutz has an extensive 10 year criminal record of assaults,illegal gun possession, burglary.


He is said to have shaken Joe Bidens hands last night.

I can't verify it's him,, maybe someone can verify it's not him shaking hands with Joe Biden.

Though previously unknown, Chaya Raichik was revealed as the Twitter account's creator by software developer Travis Brown in April 2022. The account was originally Raichik's personal account, created in November 2020 with the handle @shaya69830552, and later @shaya_ray and @ChayaRaichik. On her personal account, she downplayed the severity of COVID-19, promoted the conspiracy theory that the 2020 United States presidential election was stolen from Donald Trump through election fraud, promoted a false story about a child sex trafficking ring, and had revealed she was present at the 2021 United States Capitol attack. She then changed her handle to @cuomomustgo, focusing on demanding the resignation of the then Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo. By March 2021, she had changed the handle to @houseplantpotus, tweeting as a houseplant in the White House of U.S. President Joe Biden. After this parody account failed to gain much traction, the handle finally became @libsoftiktok in April 2021.

I do find it amusing that parents are finally being forced to monitor their childrens' school. If parents attended their teacher parent meetings, they've have had a hand in the curriculum ages ago.

Governor Michael Lynn Parson should have done something about this long ago. Pity he must be a woked Democrat, along with the State legislative.

You insist the overbearing is about what you can "buy" in EU when the overbearing is about what you can import into EU. And if you knew anything about bananas and such likes, that they deteriorate in quality quick, you just might understand the importance of guidance for banana importers.

We wouldn't like you to pack Grade A bananas at source only to be arriving at our ports with 'this is not fit for human consumption' grade, and if you were smart you'd heed the guidance instead of thinking we'd allow you to sell crap in our shops and poison our people!

Below is about what you'd call, the overbearing EU Commission's standards for beans. Or at least the consequences of you ignoring it.
will turkey join the EU? when?

First, not "buy", but that can be imported into EU and sold.

Second. Did you miss the "I should note here two things: One, that I am hugely biased against the very idea of the existence of the European Union itself. I think it’s a bad idea and everyone should leave"?

Do you think it is wrong for EU to have standards for bananas imported into EU?

Should EU let you dump any banana you want in EU?

Do you think UK abandoned standards for banana after it left EU?

When you are full of kraken, bas, all you'd see is bamboo. But if you decide to open your eyes and look, here's another view.
You did not get my point. EU commission is overbearing. You will not buy bananas that your eyes don't like.
Someone should not force you to eat what your eye detests.
EU has a lot of crazy rules and dictates .

Its all about power. Turkey joining will shift the structure of power, their influence will be huge as they are the most populous with Germany in second place.

from the way things are, turkey will join the EU before Ukraine will. that's what i believe unless they are very serious in confronting Russia and keeping Russia at bay.
EU mandarins want to exercise absolute power. Erdogan has a choice. Give up some power to EU eg immigration or else you wont join the club, EU dictates a lot of things major and trivial sweetened by the lure of a huge market. Turkey is a dictatorship Erdogan would rather stay with his power over Turks than lose any power to the EU. I mentioned bananas, Do you know the EU has dictates about the size, weight and shape of bananas that EU members can buy?

I doubt that highly. You can't join the EU without the agreement of France and Germany and I don't see the Eastern Europeans or Greece being favourable to it. What France and Germany says goes in the EU. He who pays the piper dictates the tune. And Sarkozy was a moderate leader but he said plainly what they will never write down. EU is a Caucasian club. Russia has more chance of joining EU than Turkey if Russia choose to go that route.
The EU is a power grab too. Erdogan is a dictator benevolent maybe but he wont let decisions made in Brussels ruin his chokehold on the Turkish people.
EU wants to make nations prosperous as long as the EU commission dictates are obeyed eg don't fish salmon or hold fair elections or bananas should be of a particular shape and size. Something Turkey will not accept.
Hence Turkey will never join the EU

A net importing situation is Nigeria. Welcome to debt land!

Strong dollar will reduce your exports, as those you export to will need more money to buy what you sell, and there's no guarantee the local market would pay those prices especially if some other country is selling the same to you a lot cheaper, as in, if it cost you less in local currency. That's why we buy more from weak currency China than we buy from America. Buyers can always do without you or find alternatives.

Cheap imports into your strong dollar economy will also kill your local producing market (Walmart), because manufacturers will move to where imports come from (Apple). Jobs in both sectors will disappear and employment and discontent will increase, as will your deficit, and your tax revenue will decrease at a time when you'd need more money for social expenditure. And as your debt grows, so will its cost, as more interest will be charged on what you owe.


We do not live in your "ideal world" where anyone buys less and sells more to earn a surplus. In the real world, you'd have countries like Japan that has to import all its energy, and America, both with huge deficits and debt, and your strong currency will be nothing if you are not producing anything because it's cheaper to import. Your tax revenue will decrease too, and you would have to sustain more people with what you have or you'd have riots on your streets, and your cost of borrowing will rise, which will then weaken you currency.

You are not the only person in the world, you see. You might be able to pull the shots with say, Nigeria, but countries like Saudi and China that you import from, will peg their currency to your dollar so strong or weak does not affect them much.

Democrats divide people by race, gender, etc. The Jan 6 protesters are being framed for not accepting liberal nonsense.
Jan 6 was a complete setup.
Pelosi committee is about going after Trump to prevent him from running. They also want to intimidate anyone close to him.

The current order where the American dollar is so strong that it benefits Americans to buy everything from weaker China than make them in USA is not a world order that is sustainable nor is it good for America. Not only will its currency eventually suffer as other currencies appreciate against it because they produce and export while you borrow and buy, it's people too will suffer because they will be in unemployed and in debt to those they buy from.

You can't print dollars to pay debt, you see. If America turns up in China with boat loads of printed dollars to pay what they owe, China will tell them to fuq off. And If you know anything about economics you'd have seen this play out in Nigeria that produces little and so is constantly in debt.

Now show your understanding of the above by asking an intelligent question, please.
Don't forget when your currency is strong your exports are priced higher but imports are darn cheap. A net importing situation does not work out well all the time.
The ideal economy earns a surplus. Sells more and buys less. As for costs with a strong currency the internal market can sustain govt spending.

you are the liar here.

see your quote again,


Basilico and I argue that the seditious charge brought upon an oath keeping could be one of the tricks the FBI does since he is pleading guilty. they might have given him a deal that he will like to take so they dont overload his life. they have done it numerous times even to michael flynn.

you were the one arguing crap that people do not plead guilty to a crime they did not commit. at least that is the last thing they will do. you are wrong.

Basilico and I know what we talk about and you are obviously clueless.

so again. I will say unless the FBI charge others with seditious conspiracy, the guy that pleads guilty is just someone they are using as a tool to trick easy folks like you.

people who like to follow the truth know the kidnapping case was a setup... you and ibime will just go around hating on a strawman instead f following the truth.
Plus the democrats can label the protest as an insurrection. Some case was dismissed this week because the guy was able to prove its the police who opened the doors for him. He did not take a plea, case went to court.
Democrats are evil people.

And by the way those protesters are being accused of disrupting an official proceeding. In reality the session had been suspended because two pipe bombs had been discovered. FBI has photos and CCTV footage of the guy who planted them, he has never been arrested.
